People (I've talked to) seem to like Python decorators and Java 
annotations, and they have mandatory "@" characters.

I like the "@" because it helps me (and my editor) distinguish 
between words that *define* a computation (return type, 
parameters, etc.) and words that *describe* a computation 
(attributes).
